Refers to all the physical matter humans (like all living creatures) must take in on a recurring basis; only partially for energy. Like all life on planet humans are open systems which keep tearing down their structure & require intake of atoms/molecules from which to rebuild their structure. Intestinal lining cells replaced ~every 3 days. CaPO4 in bones ~every 6 years, Everything else in between.

Fish, olive, veggies:
Olive oil, veggies, fish are the staples of the mediterranean diet and they are all packed with healthy nutrients and antioxidants. Of course the way of preparation is also important. Raw, stewed, or lightly grilled without butter or heavy sauces. My personal favorites are lentils, okra, eggplants, tomaties, peppers and wild mushrooms. Studies have shown that medi diet decreased cardiac mortality.

May be:
It depends on how much you eat. To lose weight you need to achieve negative caloric balance, i.e., burn more calories than you take in. Reduce your intake, and exercise more (easier said than done).

Lifestyle choice!:
Hard to really answer this question as phrased. Ayurvedia is a complete and integrated healing system originating in india that includes diet suggestions, meditation, exercise, thought processes/actions, etc. Such systems have a great deal of power when fully used. Mediterranean diet has been shown to be very heart healthy especially compared with standard american diet (sad).What you do & eat is key.

Ancel keys is considered the father of the mediterranean diet. Study him on google, including the photo of him when elderly.

Difficult but can do:
Hello AnaV: This is a difficult thing to do but many of the treatments are not going to help when using creams and topical treatments. The best is to do specific exercises that isolate and tone the muscles that are involved in the areas of the cellulite. This can be achieved in looking for the specific articles that will show you the appropriate treatments. Womenslife. Today look for cellulite.

You need energy:
To fuel your activities when you are awake. The Medifast program can work but it is a very low amount of calories and you need to eat all of them. Take in about 200 calories every two hours while you are awake, whether it is at night or during day. It will be OK to go without food when you are sleeping. Hope this helps...Good wishes:)

A couple of things:
Don't think I'm dismissing your issue at hand as it's an important problem, but based on your height, weight and age, your basal metabolic rate (the baseline amount of calories your body needs just for daily functioning) would far exceed 1200kcals/day. So if you were really only eating 1200kcals/day and didn't even move you should be losing weight!

Not enough calories:
If you drop caloric intake too drastically - you will actually eat up a lot of muscle and drop your metabolic rate. This is NOT a healthy way to lose weight. Consider working with a nutritionist so that you can do this in a healthy way. Take care.

There:
There is no diet pill recommended for a 13 year old girl. Instead you should focus on a healthy diet and exercise regimen. If you need help ask your parent or guardian to schedule a visit with a nutritionist or registered dietician for assistance. As far as exercise is concerned, team sports are a great way to get in exercise and lose weight. Also running, walking, or riding a bike are great as well. You are so young, it would be wise to start practicing a healthy lifestyle and losing weight through diet and exercise as opposed to relying on diet pills that could prove to be very dangerous.Best of luck.

A calorie is the amount of heat energy needed to increase a mililiter of water 1 degree centigrade, the calorie we talk about in foods is really a kilocalorie, that is the amount of energy needed to increase a liter of water 1 degree centigrade...
